By the way, Nepal accounts for maybe 0.1% of all global emission… the top wealthiest people in the world produce more carbon pollution than nearly 70% of lower income nations, yet poorer nations are left to bear the tragedy caused by them
A glacial lake outburst flood has struck Rasuwa district of Nepal and destroyed several towns along the Bhote Koshi river. Many casualties are likely. This is the new normal in the era of catastrophic climate breakdown. Soon we will have floods AND famine.
At the end of the day, we, the people from poorer countries and ordinary people around the world, are the ones who suffer the most from climate change.They make it seem like it's us, the people, using too much plastic, wasting too much water, taking long showers, and causing
There's now literally video of the kind of catastrophic mega-scale destruction caused by climate change that we saw in sci-films like 2012 only a decade go. That footage from Tibet is terrifying, apocalyptic for Tibetans.
ما يعتمل في صدرك ليس بقاتلك، لا تجزع، كل شيء سيمر. والنار التي أوقدْتها أو أوقدَتها الحياة في قلبك ليست سوى ضريبة أخرى للعيش في هذا العالم، وحين ينالك قبس من طمأنينة ووضوح، سوف يستقر الذي يعتمل في صدرك، وسوف تنطفئ النار، وسوف تشرق شمس صغيرة في أفقٍ واسع يحد جانبيه زهور وعصافير.

You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.
Flare up like a flame.
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror:
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.
Give me your hand.
This is so insane. A evil genocidal country went and illegally kidnapped peaceful protesters on international waters and now they are parading them around like cattle and NOT A SINGLE major news network is covering it.
#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided."
" I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."
